Packing!

I am feeling pretty accomplished tonight!
 
With vacation coming up in just 3 short days, I am pleased to say that the children are all packed up.
 
 All of their pre-planned outfits fit into the suitcases and shoes, accessories, jammies and a sweatshirt went into the duffles.
 
My stuff is going to be a lot less organized I'm sure.
ya know...
If I ever get to putting it together!
 
Tomorrow is for mani/pedis with my chickadees.

5 more Days!!!!

Gearing up for the big vacation!
 
I
can't
wait!
 
It's not even a get away to rest and relax vacation.
 
I mean...
 
I'm taking my kids to the beach and boardwalk.
 
It is going to be non stop running for this mommy.
 
Amusment parks, shopping, building sand castles, going to fireworks. We are going to try to do every fun thing we can find!
 
If I wanted to sit around and "relax" I would just stay home.
 
I was browsing pinterest a few weeks ago for packing tips and saw how one smart mommy packed her family up for vacation.
 

 
We did a practice run for the couple of days we were in PA.
 
You would not believe how much easier getting them ready and out the door was!
 
First step for us was to get ALL the laundry done and put away.
 
Not so easy, these girls have way too many clothes and mommy has a habit of loading the washer and then forgetting to move the clothes into the dryer... until the next day... when they need to be washed again.
 
Somehow, between Friday and Saturday, I managed to get at least 10 loads washed and dried!
 
On Sunday I got dressers sorted out and most of the laundry
folded and put away.
 
Yippy for me!
 
Tonight we are going to finish up the folding and start packing.
 
I have an ever growing list of things we need and a
jumbo sized box of zip lock bags.
